For some reason unbeknown to me, Sky are not showing the Manchester Utd vs Manchester City match tomorrow.

Could some kind soul PM me if they know any pubs in the Brixton or surrounding area that might be showing the match

Do not post names of pub here

Thanks

Can I be really brazen and give an obvious clue?

Think Brockwell Park, think relatively newly renovated Tavern, that now has a country specific identity, and lots of related tat and ephemera.

Fuck it. Ganley's shows sports on RTE, RTE Sport 2 has the Manchester derby tomorrow.

Chances are... But of course they might not.

So smite me down.

City to win 1-0 :p

found a place round east dulwich showing the game on Greek tv.
After 80 mins the broadcast switched to a Greek game being played in an impressive but virtually empty stadium.
At the same time the cricket on the other screen got rained off, so went from having too much to watch, to nothing at all.

And I thought it was just a dodgy connection in Herne Hill...

Screen went blank after about 60 minutes, stayed dead for about 5 or 6, then came back just in time to see City equalize.

Then it went dead again for ten minutes, whilst I was forced to relay commentary from a mate in the visitors end via mobile.

Fair play to the bar staff though, they kept trying to re-load the game every few seconds, and in the 81st minute it came back, if a little bit stuttery.

Just like watching via dodgy streams on my puter.

Would have been fantastic if Andy Cole had managed to put that late shot away, but, at the end of the day, we can all be happy with a draw.

Still above Utd. Heh.

I was impressed by City's performance in the 2nd half, the team spirit under Pearce is excellent. Despite Ferguson's comments that it would've been ridiculous if Cole had got the winner, I thought they were building up to it nicely.

We were there too... near the leaky ceiling. Good place for a game despite the loss of signal... Next time lets meet up! :)

Were you the guy wearing the City shirt sat near the big group (us)? You were with another lad and you had some more mates turn up at full time?
